Dell 146 GB 15K SAS Drive

This Dell MBE2147RC is a 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that demand fast random access. It spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a 6 Gb/s SAS interface with a 16 MB cache. The drive ships new with an R Series caddy tray for direct installation in compatible Dell bays.

Suited for high-IOPS server workloads

The 146 GB capacity and 15K spindle make this drive a fit for transactional databases, virtualisation hosts and tier-one application storage where low latency matters. Buyers who need more storage per spindle or a lower-cost archive tier should look elsewhere, as the small capacity and premium enterprise pricing do not suit bulk data retention.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The 15K rotational speed is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance window for latency-sensitive server workloads. If the target application can use the resulting IOPS and response time, the SAS interface and included caddy complete a drop-in upgrade for supported Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault systems.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell MBE2147RC with the included R Series caddy into a 2.5" SAS bay?

Slide the drive into the supplied R Series caddy until it clicks, then insert the assembly into the 2.5" SAS bay and secure it with the chassis latch or screws.

What maintenance or replacement should I expect for the 15000RPM SAS drive over time?

Plan to replace the 146GB drive after its rated service life; the 16MB cache and mechanical parts will eventually wear under continuous 15K RPM operation.

Which limit appears first when the 15K RPM SAS drive runs sustained workloads?

The 15000RPM spindle speed generates the most heat, so thermal throttling or the controller's 6Gb/s link saturation typically becomes the first bottleneck.
